This article was edited on 15 October at 4.10PM to include the latest updates.

Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd has released a statement announcing that the LRT Kelana Jaya line is currently experiencing disruptions due to the heavy rain and floods experienced in and around Kuala Lumpur.

Specifically, Rapid Rail revealed that repair works are currently underway for components on the LRT train track between Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai stations.

Thankfully, as of 3.30pm, Rapid Rail has managed to make the necessary repairs and services have resumed as normal.

 

Train services between Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai LRT stations halted

The track suffered damages in an incident at 10.20am today, whereby unusually heavy rain caused water to flow into the ground-level tracks and damaged a few components.

Accordingly, Rapid Rail had to cut off the power supply at the location to allow for inspections and repair works to be conducted.

Hence, intermediate train services have been activated between Gombak and Wangsa Maju stations, while trains toward Putra Height will turn back at Wangsa Maju station.

 

Rapid Rail is offering a free intermediate bus service for affected passengers

Furthermore, 12 units of free intermediate bus service with a frequency of 15 minutes have been deployed to allow passengers to continue their journey.

The free intermediate buses are as below:

(LRT SRI RAMPAI to LRT TMN MELATI)

  1. PJJ3310
  2. W9423Q
  3. PJJ4922
  4. PJH4764

(LRT TMN MELATI to LRT SRI RAMPAI)

  1. WVA4166
  2. WUW1483
  3. W479T
  4. PJG6820

 

LRT Kelana Jaya line service resumes operation as per normal at 3.30pm

In an update, Rapid Rail announced that the repair works have been successful as of 3.30pm today and the Kelana Jaya line has resumed operation as normal.

However, Rapid Rail asserted that its engineering team will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the smooth operation of trains.
